On August 27, 2012, the Patriots signed Hernandez to a five-year contract extension, running through 2018. The $12.5 million signing bonus was the largest ever given to an NFL tight end, and the $40 million total was the second-largest extension ever, after teammate Rob Gronkowski's $53 million.

40 mil, to play A GAME!
Ironic that the patriots had the two best tight ends in the game and lost them both, and still won the Superbowl last year (gronk missed half the season and all of post-season due to injury).
